William Cowper's poem, ""Boadicea, an ode"" (1782) popularised an alternative version of the name. From the 19th century until the late 20th century, Boadicea was the most common version of the name, which is probably derived from a mistranscription when a manuscript of Tacitus was copied in the Middle Ages.

"Lesbia Lesbia was the literary pseudonym used by the Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus ( 82–52 BC) to refer to his lover. Lesbia is traditionally identified with Clodia, the wife of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Celer and sister of Publius Clodius Pulcher; her conduct and motives are maligned in Cicero's extant speech ""Pro Caelio,"" delivered in 56 BC. Lesbia is the subject of 25 of Catullus' 116 surviving poems, and these display a wide range of emotions (see Catullus 85), ranging from tender love (e. g. Catullus 5, Catullus 7), to sadness and disappointment (e.g. Catullus 72), and to bitter sarcasm"

Aelian's story closely resembles the story told by Strabo, but adds that the name of the pharaoh in question was Psammetichus.

Cicero refers to a Clodia in 44 BC, but the lack of female personal names (""praenomina"") in Latin makes it difficult to specify whether this refers to the infamous Clodia or a sister.

"Moreover, scholars agree that the repeated word ""pulcher,"" meaning ""pretty,"" in Catullus' poem 79 is a pun on Clodius's cognomen, Pulcher. Thus, the Lesbius in that poem is Clodius Pulcher, and Lesbia must be one of his three sisters. However, because all three sisters possessed the name Clodia, difficulties arise in proving that Catullus's lover must have been the Clodia Metelli featured in the ""Pro Caelio"". The most common evidence for this connection is the implied charge of incest usually detected in Catullus 79 in comparison to the charges of incest against Clodia Metelli in the ""Pro Caelio"".
